Chapter 493

Getting up early in the morning, Lin Nan heard that Wong Jing's 'From Vegas to Macau II' was going to hold a launch press conference in the capital in the morning.

Under the huge public opinion pressure in the mainland, as well as the official tacit attitude of banning, Bona and Wong Jing's team decisively made adjustments.

In the first part, some Hong Kong stars with blatant crooked buttocks had already been removed, and this part added many mainland actors.

The media in Hong Kong seem to have learned to be obedient in the past two years, but only a little.

Although they dare not openly refute the official fact of the ban, they are still being sarcastic and pointing at the mulberry to scold the locust.

Saying that the mainland market is too glass-hearted, narrow-minded, and always nitpicking and raising issues to the level of principles about Hong Kong actors.

Even some Hong Kong circle artists are still defending the idiots who were banned, one by one not knowing if they have pig brains or ulterior motives.

Before eight o'clock, Lin Nan and Liu Yifei finished washing and had breakfast.

"Let's go, set off for home."

Putting on sunglasses and pulling Lin Nan's hand, Miss Liu was about to go out.

The high ponytail, shaking gently, looked very lively.

Lin Nan's other hand was answering the phone, half a step behind her.

"The day after tomorrow morning, signing at China Film, don't forget."

"Don't worry, Chairman La, I will arrive on time."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Nan saw the text message sent by Wang Changtian again.

'Keep Running' will officially start recording in four days, and he will have to show his face then to boost the momentum.

"'The Mermaid'?" Liu Yifei raised her head slightly and asked.

She knew about Zhou Xingchi's new movie from Lin Nan two days ago; the 90 million was the investment in this movie.

"That's right, it's it."

Lin Nan pretended to be in pain, "I have to recover my blood these two days, taking advantage of Huayi's stock price soaring, and cash out some more stocks."

"Hahaha, don't say it's to improve life anymore. They are all joking now, saying let me manage your money, saying you are too extravagant."

Looking at Lin Nan, Liu Yifei teased with a smile.

"You? Haha, you can't even manage your own finances, and..." Lin Nan laughed and laughed, suddenly looking at Liu Yifei's eyes playfully.

"What kind of look is that?" Miss Liu was a bit silly.

"I'm thinking, was someone hinting at me just now? Princess Xixi, what do you think."

"Ah? Then you are purely thinking too much, I was still preparing to let you eat soft rice."

Liu Yifei raised her chin slightly, her hands crossed in front of her chest; she is a standard independent woman.

"Tsk tsk, it's really not easy. This mouthful of soft rice of yours, I have been waiting since the first time I saw you at school..."

"Ah, stop talking."

After a shy rebuke, the smile on her goose-egg face couldn't stop.

The car drove quickly towards the airport; it wasn't too congested at this time, and they arrived just after nine o'clock.

Tomorrow night is the closing ceremony and awards gala of the Shanghai International Film Festival, which is the final and grandest red carpet session.

It is estimated that except for Lin Nan and Liu Yifei, basically no other celebrities in the circle will leave Shanghai today.

Because for the vast majority of stars, the red carpet of an A-list film festival is top-tier resources, exposure, camera time, and commercial value.

Those with film works will definitely not be absent, and those without will try every means to walk on it, to rub on it.

When some entertainment reporters saw the figures of Lin Nan and the two at the airport, they were a bit emotional.

"Only Lin Dao dares to play like this, really bringing Liu Yifei to attend the forum and play. Oh no, it's playing and attending the forum by the way!"

The shell company was successful, and Hairun, which had been reorganized for nearly two months, released the news of the official resumption of stock trading in the morning.

Thus, there is one more listed company in the film and television industry.

When Lin Nan and Liu Yifei left the capital airport, they were blocked by media reporters and asked for their views on the matter.

While congratulating, he also publicly stated his attitude for the first time—Lin Nan Pictures has no listing plan, and will not be listed.

Immediately after, this news spread rapidly on the internet.

A large number of companies in the circle, internet companies, and financial institutions all felt it was a pity.

You know, once Lin Nan Pictures is listed, it will definitely be another Huayi, and it is highly likely to be stronger.

Many people even feel that Lin Nan is a bit ungrateful, too exclusive, just doesn't want to let everyone take a little advantage!

"Backdoor listing, the potential is really not great, the market value is only 2.522 billion?"

Liu Xiaoli was organizing lunch, and Liu Yifei was running around, saying she was helping, but actually she was just making a mess.

Lin Nan was ordered to wait in the living room for dinner, and he immediately started browsing the news.

Hairun's market value compared to Huayi is only one-thirteenth, really like a joke.

However, Deng Chao and his wife took advantage of Hairun's listing and successfully became capital.

After finishing lunch with Liu Yifei and her prospective mother-in-law, and resting for more than an hour, Lin Nan hurried back to the company.

The location scouting work for 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' is progressing very smoothly, and the start time may be advanced.

"The first-round broadcast rights were bought by Beijing TV, Dragon TV, Blue TV, and Shandong TV; the profit is very good."

In the office, Lin Nan took the details handed over by Yue Jun and read them carefully.

The production cost of 'Red Sorghum' is as high as 120 million, mainly because Zhou Xun is quite expensive; after all, she is a three-gold film queen, and she took 30 million.

Even if her friendship with Lin Nan is very good, and she took the initiative to mention lowering the salary, Lin Nan couldn't really lower it.

If the TV series salary is lowered here, will it be lowered when other big directors or big companies look for her later?

Lowering it will affect Zhou Xun's future market quotation, and not lowering it will offend people!

Simply, the salary per episode is 500,000, and Lin Nan didn't lower a penny for Zhou Xun last year.

"Sixty episodes, the transaction price for each episode is 1.1 million. Only high-quality dramas like 'Red Sorghum' that are recognized and influential can sell for this price." Yue Jun said proudly.

"Four companies in the first round, 66 million each, this profit is indeed okay. Otherwise, why say some companies only film TV series? Although the profit cannot compare to blockbuster movies, the risk is much smaller." Lin Nan nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Lin Dao, there are also several invitation letters and invitations for you."

Looking at the red wedding invitation on the top, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing, there really is one.

"Let me see. Good guy, end of November? It's together with the Golden Horse, and it's in Taipei! There won't be a Golden Horse one below, right?"

Lin Nan admired his crow's mouth; just after finishing speaking, the next one was the guest invitation letter for the Golden Horse.

"Tsk tsk, I only won a few awards for 'Bad Genius', this is sticking to me? Let's talk about it later, and I probably won't have time anyway.

This year, 'Manchester by the Sea' will sign up for the Golden Globes and Oscars, and I might have to stay in Hollywood during that time."

After chatting for a while, Lin Nan asked about 'Mojin: The Lost Legend'.

Director Wu Ershan led the team personally to scout the location, and will be back before the end of the month.

If it's fast, 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' can officially start filming in July.

The lively Shanghai International Film Festival for nearly ten days finally came to an end.

From early in the morning, Weibo was full of interactive photos sent by assistants or studios of various stars.

Trying on dresses, putting on makeup, taking group photos, one by one either beautiful or handsome, anyway, none were ugly!

All female stars are carefully preparing for the red carpet, determined to exert all their efforts in those two or three minutes to compete.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were free at night, and even watched the live broadcast.

Sure enough, in the eyes of all the stars in the circle, the most important part of the Shanghai International Film Festival is not the awards session, but the closing ceremony red carpet.

"Even if Gong Li comes to be the jury president, it can't change the style of the Shanghai Film Festival."

After watching the awards ceremony, Lin Nan sighed.

Except for the Jury Prize, all the important awards in the main competition unit were unsurprisingly won by foreign films again.

However, the Film Channel Media Awards unit this year is quite interesting; completely opposite to the questioning voices last year, everyone agrees this time.

Because the Best Actor and Best Actress winners are Li Baotian and Tao Hong, two powerful actors.

Even the Best New Director was not sprayed like Guo Jingming last year, but instead received a lot of praise.

"Xiao Yang, 'Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon'! Seems like it's being released next month?"

In the morning, La Peikang's secretary specifically called to remind him.

Lin Nan took two employees from the company and went directly to China Film.

It was still the same appearance as when they met a week ago, La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, Zhou Xingchi, and Lin Nan.

It's just that everyone brought one or two more people this time, because it involves contract matters.

"Has Director Zhou found all the investments?" Lin Nan asked subconsciously.

"Thank you, Lin Dao, for your concern, I have put in a part, and some others have been decided."

The four people were chatting and laughing, while the subordinates were carefully checking the film investment agreement.

"Chairman La, Chairman Ren, Lin Dao, there is one thing I want to tell the three of you in advance."

"Director Zhou, please speak."

"In order to ensure the promotional effect of this film, my team is preparing to conduct a two-to-three-month audition to select the heroine."

Hearing Zhou Xingchi's words, the eyes of La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun lit up instantly.

The famous "girls" in the circle that people talk about are the "Zhang girls", "Star girls", and "Jackie girls".

These titles are undoubtedly titles for newcomers.

And every newcomer can cause huge discussion and attention from the outside world.

If a special audition is held for the new "Star girl", it is conceivable that the promotional effect will definitely be sensational!

"Good idea!"

"Shanghai Film supports it."

"I have no opinion."

"Lin Nan, you haven't even cultivated a 'Lin girl', not powerful enough!

That Jing Tian, count it as half. Although she acted in your 'The Martian', the first one released was a horror movie 'Anaconda'."

La Peikang looked at Lin Nan and joked.

Lin Nan didn't care about Zhou Xingchi, and replied casually:

"Chairman La, haven't you noticed? These 'Zhang girls', 'Jackie girls', 'Star girls' have all had scandals with the name before the 'girl'."

"Good guy, are you afraid of your wife?!" La Peikang and Ren Zhonglun laughed loudly.

Zhou Xingchi on the side smiled and shook his head; he had a lawsuit with a "Star girl".

"Chairman La, no problem."

"Chairman Ren, the contract is no problem."

"Lin Dao, can."

Following the report of their subordinates, several people started signing contracts.

China Film 25%, invested 75 million; Shanghai Film 15%, invested 45 million; Lin Nan 30%, 90 million!

"I have an idea, do you want to listen, about the promotion."

After signing several contracts, Lin Nan suddenly looked up at the few people and said.

"If you have a good idea, just say it."

"Lin Dao, I humbly ask for advice."

"Director Zhou has many classic comedy films, and in the past, the vast majority of mainland audiences watched them on pirated internet versions, or for free on TV.

And the three words 'Zhou Xingchi' are also 'God' in the hearts of countless mainland fans! Aiming at this point, we can play the emotional card in promotion."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Ren Zhonglun and La Peikang thought and nodded.

Only Zhou Xingchi smiled embarrassedly, "How can it be as exaggerated as Lin Dao said."

"Just tell us how to play the emotional card for promotion?" La Peikang asked.

"For example, we can conduct internet marketing from now on, and the core content is one sentence: We all owe Zhou Xingchi a movie ticket!"

After Lin Nan finished speaking, he looked at the three.

I saw La Peikang, Ren Zhonglun, and Zhou Xingchi were all stunned, but green light was flashing in their eyes!
